Bobbin Sisters

 I was sad to hear that Bobbin Sisters will be closing soon - they're having a Closing Down sale now, and their yarn is wonderful, so it'll be worth stocking up.

They've been in Backfold for 4 years, and the lease was coming up for renewal - but in that time, their family situation has changed, and they decided that they no longer wanted to run the shop.

They're not disappearing entirely, though.  They run a group at the Old Black Lion called Sticks and Twine - bring your project and buy a drink from the bar.  The next one is on Tuesday 11th March, from 6pm to 8pm, and it runs monthly.

They also do a collaboration with North Books, Stitches and Stories.  This is a bookclub that meets once every two months, and the books all have a yarn-related theme.  The next one is on Thursday 17th April, and the book can be bought from North Books.
